Lets's calculate LCM of 299,5743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1717157
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1717157
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5964/299,5207/5743 is 1/1717157
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 299,5743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,5743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,5743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(299,5743) = ( 299 × 5743 ) / 1
LCM(299,5743) = 1717157 / 1
LCM(299,5743) = 1717157
